Thermal Models of Flaring Region Based on Observations by the SOLRAD 10 Satellite
Abstract
A number of solar X-ray bursts, observed with the SOLRAD 10 satellite on 1971 September 14, 17, November 28 and 1972 August 1, have been analysed. From the differential emission measure distribution deduced from the observations the temporal and spatial distribution in a flaring region has been evaluated and compared with models of instantaneous or continuous energy injection and conductive redistribution. Assuming a power law for the differential emission measure in dependence of electron temperature the ratios of the counting rates observed in different spectral bands have been compared with theoretical predictions so as to test the validity of this particular class of models.
